Let me be clear, I don't know if it is widespread in Europe or even happening in Europe. I have frequently seen Americans (all liberals) claim that they know people in Europe or have seen people in Europe laughing at how inept the US is.
Its interesting you hear things no one else hears.
People are laughing at your leader, not the US. The Trump jokes about Clorox injections, etc are not only in US, they are global.
Have friends in England and Germany. Friend in England speaks derisively of President Trump, but then he is a longstanding Labour man. Friends in Germany, Americans, often tell us about the German order and insistence on following the rules, but are very much in phrase of the German federalist system that has had the states lead the C-19 response, in their respective locales.
We have a few outspoken Canadians who participate in the P&C forum and generally pretty negative about the U.S., yet some 'use' out warm southern winters to escape the brutal winters of Canada. Still, we like visiting Canada. Not a lot ~35mil pop can do to spoil a beautiful country as large as our almost 14th colony.
There have been some good jokes made about this situation and this is the only occasion on which I laugh. Cant laugh about the pandemic. On one hand, US and West Europe blew it and so did China. My part of the world has been surprisingly intelligent in dealing with the virus. But I don't think for a second they will be intelligent about dealing with the economic aftermath. We are all going to suffer. Nothing to laugh about.
Most European countries have a death rate twice ours, or 5-10 times that of most states if you discount NY and NJ. Yeah, they really have this crap figured out. I pity those that live (and are dying) in crowded, filthy, socialists hellholes. Rather they are in Europe or the US.
Heard it on faux?
There are currently 10 countries (including Andorra and San Marino) in Europe with higher death rates than the US. So that leaves about 40 countries with lower rates. Oh, and of course we are still much earlier on the curve.
You do not get to "discount NY and NJ", last time I checked they are part of US.
Multiple countries are handling it much better than the US, even though they have the intrinsic disadvantage of higher densities and much higher use of mass transit.

Bill Gates and his buddy Dr. Fauci will be laughing all the way to the bank once their patented vaccine is released and governments make it mandatory for everyone to get it.

Do you have links to confirm your claim that vaccination will be mandatory for everyone? I don’t believe it.
Ooooooh, people, EVERYBODY!!!, are laughing at us. Let us rush to beg instruction from them so that we can fulfill our dream of being approved of by idiots.
Epic apology tour incoming from the Biden administration in 2021.
